Blame it on the Boogie! (Update 1)

Work in Progress on LDN 1622 aka "The Boogie Man Nebula".

From the backyard under full moon.

Very happy with my first set of 30 min subs from the Hypertuned, belt driven EQ6 - nice round stars, woohoo!

10x 1800secs 5nm Ha

Still noisy as the MCG on grand final day, so needs more data and some form of colour, maybe HaRGB or full NB perhaps?

FYI - LDN 1622 is an unusual looking, fairly dim object more or less opposite M78 on the other side of Barnard's loop.

UPDATE: Now in colour - High Res here

Added 6 hrs colour data - ('phew, that was hard - shooting unfiltered 10min subs in R,G & B from light pollutionville) - interesting processing!

Tried both S2 and O3 in NB but there appears to be none present in this DSO.

I've gone for a different, "spookier" mood than is usually used with this Ha dominated target. Hence the monochromatic blue colour palette.
Still needs more Ha to keep the noise under control - stay tuned, hopefully that'll happen in round 3!
